The article states moths are more efficient pollinators _at night_.
But many types flowers close at night (tulips and hibiscus for instance).
So presumably moths don't pollinate those and we still need daytime pollinators.
- yellowapple 4y agoRelatedly, the article states that more than 80% of pollination happens during the day. I reckon that'd probably be higher if we hadn't been so hellbent on decimating daytime pollinator populations.
- rob74 4y agoWell, we are also hellbent on decimating nighttime pollinators (probably even more than daytime), as well as most other types of insects (except maybe cockroaches).
